Gallery crashed for me too - after a few FCs it went back to normal. No pattern noticed... Also GMail crashed and failed to load at all - after "clear data" all went back to normal

If you reboot they might show... In my case after install some widgets are not showing up until the new one is installed or after a few minutes they appeared... maybe just needed time to refresh?

Does anyone know why pics from Facebook are not appearing as contacts pictures? And why in favourite contacts tab only those with Google+ account have pics even if they all have pics in Google contacts or phone contacts? Is this a ICS glitch or am I doing sth wrong?

[/OFFTOPIC]
[HD2 Android SD Development] niteowl360:
Good replacement for Gallery is Quickpic always loads fast (you may have to select show hidden files from settings though)

Wallpaper scrolling, maybe try GO Launcher EX and set that from within the Settings.

Wallpaper loading, use Super Wall Lite (can use eg 1920 x 800) image across 4 screens etc or Wallpaper Set and Save

I just tried this. As far as I can follow the thread this should help investigating the cause for some of us hanging at the green HTC logo, shouldn't it?

I replaced the file with the one in my ics folder and tried again. I'm afraid I can't find any mount.log file, neither in the SD card root, nor in the ice directory. Do I have to create that manually before and then try running again?

Hello Ankuch,

tried what you asked me to do and nothing happens: hangs on the screen with the green HTC logo and no mount.log file created.

best regards, Kuzibri

EDIT: Is it possible that this problem is caused because I forgot to delete the Ringtones folder from the beta version????
[HD2 Android SD Development] DisneyF1:
Thanks,

In other build, no-ICS, some apps FC'd, but not these. Maybe they just aren't ICS-ready, but Gallery? Isn't it integrated?

The widgets are showing up alright, I just can't find where to obtain them. I'd really like to find one that shows weather and time and a message display widget.

Hey Niteowl,

I think we spoke in another thread previously. Thanks for the tip. I was hoping to stay with the stock launcher as I finally like the one they've put together. I've tried the SuperWalll Lite app but can't seem to direct it to a file - I'll try again. Glad to hear you like that one.

remember it is just a beta so it'll have few bugs aswell.

you're lucky you can crop the images at least, i always see a black screen when i come up to "crop" selection..

have you tried syncmypix free from market? in early builds it solved this problem, i'm not using it anymore cause i'm not really interested in this kind of feature

What happens, though, is that /ICS/root/ gets wiped!!! As in the actual /root folder is still there, but there are no files/folders inside????

On another note - whatever you've done with the Nov. 29 build (definitely would be interested to learn, in you have some time/care to explain a little) - it works veerry smooth. Thanks a lot for this SD build.

Hi my friend,

maybe a very stupid question: could this hanging on the HTC green logo, from which some users suffer, be solved by using the initrd file from Tytung's version, just like Tytung's uses the one from Ankuch?

Could you, as an expert, tell me the main differences between the 4.02 and 4.03 versions (as you very well know I do not know soo much about Android as an Artemis Addict. :)

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] ankuch:

Dear Ankuch,

unfortunately this file did also not do the trick. The one that it did was:

http://www.multiupload.com/RFCVWJYXUF

So, for all people who have the hanging problem with this ICS version on the green HTC logo screen on their HD2, download this file, delete the original initdr file on your SD Card ICS folder and copy this file to your ICS folder.

Because the Games and Programs data will store at /ANDROID/DATA

How to move it to /%Android path%/DATA ?

I tried with the attachment you sent but am still seeing the same Green hTC logo only. When I used the file mentioned by Kuzibri, the installation proceeded fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
hi dttung80,this is the startup.txt i use http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19727752&postcount=42. change set cmdline "rel_path=ics gps_zone=my nand_boot=0"

boot to what you what to call it but make sure the folder is called the same. Also when you make the change in startup.txt make sure you SAVE it:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Hi ddtung80,

If you change the android folder to something other than what is preset, you would need to make corresponding change in the STARTUP.TXT file also.

I have renamed my Android folder to ICS4B15 and the line in STARTUP.TXT file reads as below:

set cmdline "rel_path=ICS4B15 data_size=256 lcd_density=240 gps_zone=sg"

In your case, if you rename the folder to ANDROID, you would need to change the line in STARTUP.TXT to as follows:

set cmdline "rel_path=ANDROID data_size=256 lcd_density=240 gps_zone=sg"

Try it out and let us know how it goes.

maybe some hope for that then.

i did notice that the kernel shown on the screenshot is the same as the one i have now (which I have no problems with)

"2.6.32.15_tytung_ICS_Beta8" and a note saying to use Beta8 or Beta6.

Does this come from the kernal itself as i know the other text is just manually entered in build.prop or... how to tell exactly which version i do have?

is that the one being recommended here for various hanging problems?

my build number is IML74K Beta10 SD which i actually cant see on the first page?????

How to upgrade and keep existing Apps

In earlier SD upgrades one could simply keep the old data.img file and use that to keep your data and apps.

I have read conflicting posts here on the procedure when upgrading to this latest release.

Hi guys.

I have copied all files to ICS folder;

I am using android NAND and just want to try IceCreamSandwich on sd...

Please guide me what to do.

Hi my friend,

that's very strange, cause the last init version from Ankuch does not work with his own SD card version!! Still the green HTC logo screen :confused: BTW, from the beginning Tytung's version worked OK with the "first/old" init for Ankuch, not just only his last init version. Tried it myself then and it worked immediately.

Do you have any explanation for this weird problem?? And what's the difference between Ankuch and Tytung's version??

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 AM ----------

Hi,

in principle magldr only boots from android folders AFAIK. What you could try is the following:

1. shut down and restart your device

2. choose to boot to WinMo

3. go to SD Card with file explorer and to folder ICS

4. press clrcad and after that haret and see what happens.

If ICS starts you know what the problem is with magldr.

[HD2 Android SD Development] melando:
No it will boot from ICS but I don't think it reads startup file
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
It looks as though you have done this correctly (SDcard/ICS/haret...etc). You could try re-naming ICS folder to Android and change magldr bootsettings (if nand doesn't use that folder), but ICS works for me.

What NAND android are you running? some (ACA inc.) do not allow SD android booting for some reason.

If you go back to wm6.5 to try for sd ICS, you might as well try NAND ICS;)

Hi,

seee this post: # 1186

Download Ankuch's latest SD ICS version, extract it to desktop, delete the initrd file and replace with the one in mentioned post. Copy everything to the newly created ICS folder on SD card and press clrcad and haret and it should work.

Mind you that this is only a temporary solution untill Ankuch has discovered the problem with his initrd file in his latest SD ICS version!!

Sorry I do not know the differences. I am using now tytung ICS CM9 SD v1.1 which is based on his nand version, same as ankuch's rom. And also both has problem with initrd.gz when starting with haret, and both were working with the initrd from build 13, so both rooms seems to be quite similar. As I said before this last initrd is working in tytung SD v1.1 this may give some clue to ankuch. The only issue i got was no possible to install softkeys or other stuff via /ICS/root/META-INF & /system, just dont actualize. I had to go back to build13's initrd for that installations, then back to the last initrd from #1194.

This is what i done change initrd.gz file to your new one before first boot.Then i booted the build all working fine,then i see your post so i change the initrd.gz back to the original initrd.gz file,build booted fine again.I have tried before with original initrd.gz from start but it just restarts.
